X1 not doing so hot

So at the eve of launch, the PS4 version of Type-0 is at #4 while the XB1 version is at #73.... =/

...

Exactly. If sony drop the price for ps4 this year (and they will), it will be 100 dollars/euros less, not only a cheap 50 move.

They always dropped the price on their console before the end of the second year, i don't see how it will be different now, especially when the cost of the ps4 decline (contrary to the Xone, because of the DDR3).

I agree with the 100$ cut in the USA.  A cut that big sends shockwaves through the media and everyone would be talking about it because it's domination console getting a price cut at last.  

But why do they need to cut the EU price bar the UK? They're going to walk through the EU with an easy win so might aswell hold out and just do a 50€ cut there.  Japan likewise and same for most of the ROW. 

A 100 WW price is overkill and a waste of profits.  

Also, the US is the XB1's strongest market. If Type-0 isn't doing well for the console here, then it's going to do even worse everywhere else. And considering that it also contains a demo to FFXV, it will influence the distribution of sales in FFXV.

That's a very good point.

Assuming PS4 production hasn't decreased compared to last year, it would seem your assumption that Sony can sell as many PS4's as it produces is flawed. PS4 is actually down YoY at this point (world wide), which means assuming supply is the same (probably more reliable) as last year, demand is down, hence any increase in production will mean more PS4's on shelves. And considering there were allegedly shortages in many markets this time last year, being down YoY really means demand has decreased quite a bit. 

With the new releases slated for March, PS4 may be up YoY for this month (world wide) but I doubt it will completely wipe out the ~250K deficit it has already built up compared to last year. But it would be cool if PS4 managed 10 million this month. It was 931K in March last year, so it is doable. 

The one place I think PS4 is guaranteed to be up YoY regardless of price is Japan. And when you consider that Japan will be helping PS4 look good for all months other than Feb, it further serves to mask the YoY drop in all other territories.

End of the day if Sony wants PS4 to grow this year compared to last year then a price cut will be essential. And I think Sony wants PS4 to increase in sales YoY.

Halo MCC bundle is tantalisingly close to breaking into the top 100 at #129. Another day or two and it should be there. Will be interesting to see how the ACU bundle goes. It's sitting pretty stable in the 22-25 range right now. If both skus can be in the top 50 until ACU gets discontinued that will be pretty good for Xb one,

Anyone spotted the MCC bundle on other retailer best seller lists?
